This is a copy of our v0.4.1 release post for early adopters over on Itch.
Hello employees! A glorious day has arrived, the long-awaited mega update for Under Contract v0.4.1 is here! This patch's basic summary is that the first department is now 100% complete, with all nodes, cutscenes, and rewards. It's all there. We took a very long time to polish how this game works, refine the gameplay experience, go over the narrative with a fine-tooth comb, and generally make it as good as we can!
Let’s get into it!
What can you expect?
This is an odd thing to talk about, as there are far too many changes, fixes, and updates to discuss each one. Instead, we will talk about what you can find inside the game.
Hours of content
Since the Marketing Department is now done that means you can play all the way until you beat the first major boss of the game. Anything post her reward scenes are still a work in progress. Our gameplay is still based on the nostalgic titles of Magical Drop, and our gameplay will aim to satisfy.
Slayer of Demons and Maidens
Found within the Marketing Department are a variety of characters to interact with. We have the legion of Demonic Minions hunting Richard across his dreams, the tormenting Manager Bliss and the CEO Dominique, along with the first three coworkers Monika, Tracey, and Kelly. All will have unique sexual scenes with each other and with Richard for players to uncover, 20 scenes in total, all of them animated!
Don’t go at it alone!
Under Contract now has unlockable companions to assist Richard on his journey through the underworld. Each character recruited offers a unique way to play the game with special activation powers and gemstones! This build has four companions to unlock.
Multilingual, ready to mingle
The entire introduction and Marketing Department is fully supported in 10 total languages. English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Italian, German, and French. We have a little bit of the UI to localize still, but it won’t affect your enjoyment of the game.
Players of all skill levels welcome
While we pride ourselves on the stressful nature of our gameplay we also aim to be inclusive as possible for those looking more to our story and “plot” offerings. So the full game has three total difficulties Easy, Normal, and Hard. Meaning everyone can get through the game however they want!
Amazing beats to puzzle too!
A full original soundtrack of music can be found within Under Contract, the length currently totals 30 full minutes, we also have a unique slew of sound effects both in narrative and combat. The future includes a vocal overhaul of all cutscenes and combat encounters.
We are hoping you all thoroughly enjoy the new offerings of Under Contract, and we hope you all can get in touch and let us know your thoughts and feedback. We want to make the best game possible, so please let us know.
